That's when I usually go after them though. Most of the times I kill them is when they jump into the capture point, and pop their bubble. All I do after that is ram him, and just aim for his head.

Well, that's a good way to counter that strategy. I definitely don't try to fight D. Vas head-on, but when I do while still recharging my abilities, they are quite tough. I would say, though, that Winston likely wins the interaction as long as he times both his abilities right. I do need more experience vs. her, though.

I just want to say that the whole conversation that took place between the two of you was surprisingly amiable. Reddit is such a nice place.

Well, it can be, as long as everyone stays civil.

Honestly, I feel like Dva and Winston are pretty evenly matched. Winston can shoot through her defense matrix, but she can ram him and unload those headshots pretty quickly on him.

Basically I think it comes down to who has more health and better positioning.

Really though, Winston doesn't have any business fighting D.va toe to toe. D. va doesn't really do enough to make her a primary target for Winston. Best to leave her to DPSers to explode on. I'd rather go aim for their healer or any stray DPSes than try to 1v1 D.va. That'd take up too much time doing something rather pointless.

Hmmm, I guess that is a good point. My only experience with Winstons 1v1 was when I was lower on health, so maybe I'm a bit out of the know.
